19．My life suffered a lot in summer five years ago．My father died in a car accident，leaving my mother，my two younger brothers and I alone．At that time，I was a senior high school student．After my father's funeral，I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in a factory．
I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college，but I couldn't．I only hoped to bring up my two young brothers．Life was not easy for me，for I couldn't afford their tuition even if I worked from day to night without stopping．Without my father's protection，I thought I was a slave to the fate．
Later on，something changed my life．I still remember that it was a rainy day．I put myself in the rain and walked slowly in the street．
Suddenly the rain stopped！I raised my head and found"the sky"was in fact a dark blue umbrella．Then I noticed a middleaged man with one leg on crutch（拐杖） standing behind me．He said to me，"Why not run without an umbrella？If you didn't run，you would get drenched．"
The man told me that he was a promoter．He once dreamed of being a policeman，but an accident ruined his dream．Though his present job was not suitable for his legs，it was a wonderful start to him．He was very happy that he didn't lose heart and still"ran"on the road of life…
I was encouraged by the man's words．I went to a big city and became an assurance representative．After two years'running，I did well and my family condition turned better little by little．Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university．
Life is like this．When you are in rainy days in your life，if you couldn't find a way to prevent you from being wet，you would be overwhelmed．But if you decide to get rid of it，you'll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine．

3．Writer and journalist Cristina Odone aroused widespread anger by suggesting that her daughter was being pressured to take science for graduation exams and this was unreasonable for a child with a literary bent．She even claimed that"…this focus on STEM[Science，Technology，Engineering and Mathematics]subjects sends a message that makes her and me uncomfortable：doing a man's work is more impressive than doing a woman's．"
Like many others，I totally disagree with her position as a scientist．Taking science to age 16should simply be seen as part of obtaining a well-rounded education．Furthermore，identifying STEM as a man's subject leads in part to our serious lack of diversity（多样性） in the scientific workforce．Meanwhile，many male authors and poets might be surprised to learn that literature is"woman's work"．
Novelist Lucy Ellman once wrote，"The purpose of artists is to ask the right questions，even if we don't find the answers，whereas the aim of science is to prove some silly points．"But proving some silly points might save your life，light your home，allow you to surf the web or visit your relatives living far away．Only someone who has never considered how extensive the outputs of science are in our society could write such a"silly"sentence．
However，having said that，I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities．I do not see this as an either/or situation but it's all part of being human．I admire and appreciate those who try to express things hard to be described in words，but it simply isn't my strength．I may wholeheartedly believe that science is vital but that doesn't mean I think the humanities （or indeed the social sciences） are not．Since science costs more to do than arts subjects，more funding should go to science．That statement is not equal to saying that the humanities should not be properly funded．Somehow，we are constantly being put in opposition，a divide that is damaging to both scientists and non-scientists．
So why are the humanities important to me？I would say it is exactly because I am human．I sit here typing listening to a Schubert piano trio．I have been reading EP Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class to try to understand how our society was and is the shape it is．Scientists may be capable of dealing with the ethics（道德标准） of their work，but they cannot and should not answer the question of whether we should do this in isolation．Answering the many questions that our developing scientific capabilities throw up requires the input of researchers from many fields．
So let us enjoy our capabilities on all fronts，recognizing that we each have different strengths and weaknesses．It's time to ban the damaging divide that sets one part of the research community against another and celebrate our humanity as well as the Humanities．

74．The writer quotes words from Cristina Odone and Lucy Ellman to show thatB．
A．doing a man's work is more impressive than doing a woman's
B．some people may have a narrow understanding of science
C．the purposes of artists and scientists are totally different
D．a well-rounded education is crucial to the diversity in society
75．By saying"I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities"，the writer probably meansC．
A．I am not an expert in the work of the humanities
B．I don't think the work of the humanities important
C．I don't want to play down the work of the humanities
D．I admire and appreciate the work of the humanities
76．Why does the writer mention listening to music and reading books in Paragraph 5？C
A．To explain how extensive the outputs of science are．
B．To call on scientists to understand the society and the shape of it．
C．To prove that the humanities are important to scientists too．
D．To advise scientists to deal with the ethics of their work．
77．The purpose of this passage is toD．
A．reveal people's weakness in expressing complex thoughts in words
B．reject the idea that science only proves some silly points
C．illustrate that scientists have strengths and weaknesses
D．appeal to stop treating humanities and science as opposites．

20．Tea vs Coffee
Tea and coffee are two of the most widely consumed drinks in the United States．With popularity and interest in tea continuing to grow in recent years，many consumers have recently considered making the switch from coffee to tea，if they have not done so already．All the buzz surrounding tea and coffee may have you wondering，what are the differences？As it turns out，the differences are many and varied．
In the US，interest in tea ranges from coast to coast with the highest in Hawaii and California but stretching to the eastern states of Vermont and New York．On the other hand，the highest interest in coffee tends to be concentrated more in the north and western regions（地区），with the highest search volumes appearing in the states of Hawaii，Washington and Minnesota．
Differences between tea and coffee also vary in origin and production．All tea comes from the harvested leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant，while there are about 60different species of coffee plants．Production of tea is quicker and more efficient：Camellia sinensis plants only need to grow for three years before they are ready to process； coffee plants take up to five years．
Perhaps the most concerning issue consumers have when considering making the switch to tea
is the question of caffeine．The good news is，when it comes to tea and caffeine，there is something for everyone．Unlike coffee，which typically only comes in decaffeinated and regular，there are several varieties of tea available，based on caffeine preference．
From herbal teas that are naturally free of caffeine，to high quality green and black teas that offer less than half the caffeine of coffee，to high caffeine teas such as our specially formulated HiCAF?blends that contain slightly more caffeine than a cup of coffee，there is a variety sure to suit your needs．As an added bonus，the lower acidity levels in tea tend to be gentler on the stomach for a more comforting pick-me-up．
So what is the answer，coffee or tea？If you are looking for the most healthful benefit possible，tea is probably the winner．They say a picture is worth a thousand words．If，like many Americans，the rising popularity in tea has your interest piqued，the images below will help to clearly spell out the differences between tea and coffee．

63．It can be learned from the passage thatC．
A．coffee is of much higher production than tea
B．tea and coffee are from harvested leaves of plants
C．the popularity of tea is growing constantly in the US
D．there is no regional difference in drinking tea and coffee
64．According to the passage，which of the following contains the least caffeine？C
A．Green tea． B．Black tea． C．Herbal tea． D．HiCAF?blends．
65．What is the author's attitude towards tea？A
A．Positive． B．Cautious． C．Sceptical． D．Negative．
66．The underlined word"piqued"in the last paragraph probably means．D
A．reduced B．lost C．expressed D．excited．

1．I am a vegetarian（素食主义者）．Many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior．I treasure our Earth，and since we only have one，we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it．But that's only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian．
Vegetarians may live longer，healthier lives．There is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases．From an economic standpoint，it requires less land，money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet．While there are many benefits to being a vegetarian，only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed．
The most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat，we tend to give up vegetarianism easily．Creativity is almost as important as commitment．It's easy to tire of eating nothing but salad．But with a little creativity and some soy products，almost any meal can become vegetarian-friendly．
Not everyone wants to be vegetarian．Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style．Forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful．Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts．
Being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me，but it may not be so for others．A common mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the change．It can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation．However，it fades over time．Another common mistake is quitting because you've been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian．That's why it is vital to be educated．Countless people will tell you that it's impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein（蛋白质）your body requires without meat，but they are incorrect．People actually need only 44-55grams of protein a day，and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet．Many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount，which is not beneficial．It leads to diseases．Vegetables can also supply all the vitamins，minerals and nutrients your body needs．However，if you're still not convinced，you can take a multi-vitamin．

41．According to the passage，being a vegetarian helpsA．
A．protect the wildlife
B．free people from diseases
C．rid people from strange behaviors
D．develop a better economy
42．What's the underlined word temptation in Paragraph 3closest in meaning to？B
A．Unpleasant taste
B．Extreme attraction
C．Great consumption
D．Significant importance
43．Stylish vegetarians do notA．
A．force others to be vegetarians
B．respect other people's beliefs
C．turn down hosts gracefully
D．refuse an offer of meat
44．Which of the following is NOT true？D
A．Many people give up before their bodies can adjust to the transition．
B．Many people quit because they're poorly educated about nutrition．
C．Consuming 150grams protein a day can be harmful．
D．Vegetarians need multi-vitamins to keep healthy．
45．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？C
A．Reasons why the author became a vegetarian．
B．Important qualities required to be a vegetarian．
C．Advantages and disadvantages of being a vegetarian．
D．Common mistakes on the way to being a vegetarian．

12．Like most creatures on earth，humans come equipped with a circadian clock （生物钟），a roughly 24-hour internal timer that keeps our sleep patterns in agreement with our planet，at least until genetics，age and our personal habits get in the way．Even though the average adult needs eight hours of sleep per night，there are"short-sleepers，"who need far less，and morning people，who，research shows，often come from families of other morning people．Then there's the rest of us who rely on alarm clocks．
For those who fantasize about greeting the dawn，there is hope．Sleep experts say that with a little training，well actually，a lot of traning，most people can reset their circadian clocks．But it's not as simple as forcing yourself to go to bed earlier，for you can't make a wide-awake brain sleep．It requires inducing （诱导） a sort of jet lag without leaving your time zone．And sticking it out until your body clock resets itself．And then not resetting it again．
To start，move up your wake-up time by 20minutes a day．If you regularly rise at 8a．m．，but really want to get moving at 6a．m．，set the alarm for 7：40on Monday．The next day，set it for 7：20and so on．Then，after you wake up，don't stay in bed．Hit yourself with light．In theory，you'll gradually get sleepy about 20minutes earlier each night，and you can facilitate the transition by avoiding extra light exposure from computers or televisions as you near bedtime．
But recalibrating your inner clock requires more commitment than many people care to give．For some，it's almost impossible．Very early risers and longtime night owls （猫头鹰） have a hard time ever changing．Night-shift workers also struggle because they don't get the environmental and social cues that help adjust the circadian clock．
Besides computer screens，the biggest trouble for an aspiring person is weekend．Staying up later on Friday or sleeping in on sends the brain an entirely new set of scheduling priorities．By Monday，a 6a．m．alarm will feel like 4a．m..If the old phase was entrained for a long time，the biology has a kind of memory．In other words，it takes self-discipline．

63．According to the passage，a circadian clock usuallyA．
A．regulates one's sleep patterns
B．affects one's personal habits
C．determines one's sleep qualities
D．replaces an alarm clock
64．For those who want to get up earlier，C．
A．there is no possibility
B．it takes little effort
C．it needs to creat a feeling of jet lag
D．the best way is to go to bed earlier
65．To form the habit of getting up 2hours eralier，you'd betterC．
A．get up immediately you wake up
B．avoid light exposure when you wake up
C．start by setting your alram clock for exactly the time
D．force yourself to go to bed as eraly as possible
66．Which of the following factors may affect one's change of a circadian clock most？D
A．Light．
B．Computer．
C．Television．
D．Weekend．
